Free Background Checks

Do a free background check to verify the trustworthiness of someone in your life. For example, you may like to know if the person you were set up with on a blind date is a criminal, or whether the person who wants to rent above the garage has the financial means to pay you. Too many people have become victims because they did not conduct a background search. Luckily, you can do this free by using resources at your disposal.

Save money by using free services.

Type in “free background check” into any search engine and it’s likely you will be bombarded with thousands of results. Unfortunately, many of these so-called free offers are anything but free.

What usually happens is you type in the name of a person whose background you want to check and the website will look through its database to find that name. It will come back with the amount of results for the name, sometimes with general categories. That is the free part of the background check. However, to learn what the results actually are or details, you will be prompted to pay for the results.

Be wary of getting free background checks using a free trial or promotional offer. Like free magazine trial subscriptions and other trial offers found online, background check service trials could be notoriously difficult to cancel at the end of the promotional period. The fine print may have stipulations on how to go about canceling - a process that requires extensive work on your part. If you decide to use one of these websites, visit the Better Business Bureau to research the background report company’s reputation.

SnoopStation is one of the few websites that does actually offer visitors a chance to look for public record information free, all in one place. To begin your search, select options in the "Basic Background Check (FREE)" box in the center of the screen. Answer each of the questions regarding the information you are seeking.

After agreeing to the terms of service, you will be taken to a page that offers a choice between the Free SnoopStation Wizard and an instant, “all-in-one” background check. Make sure you click the red button to "Start Free Search" with the Free SnoopStation Wizard.

From this point on, you will be able to search databases regarding different activities of the person or business you want to investigate. Each section opens in a new window or tab, but you can return to the original page at any time. Search information about a person regarding:

• Criminal history, such as court records
• Financial records, like unclaimed money
• Marital/divorce records
• Vital records
• Location records

As you navigate through SnoopStation, you need to be careful which selections you choose so you are not lured away from the free services and into paying for a premium service. Read the website’s terms and conditions and each selection choice closely as you are guided through the site.

When paying for a background check of someone you are concerned about does not fit into your budget, you will need to find a free background reporting service. If you cannot find one online, you may need to conduct the search yourself. Even though it may take more time, it is an easy way to save money.

One of the best ways to start a background check yourself is to use a free people finder to look someone up. If something appears suspicious, you can do further exploration into that person’s background by doing the following:

• Ask for personal and work references, and then call them.
• Do a search of the state’s court records for warrants, court appearances, tickets and other infractions.
• Look up your state’s sexual offender website to see if the person is registered.

Doing a background check is for your personal or financial safety protection only. You should not use information you learn to blackmail, harrass or slander another person. A background check will help you avoid potentially unsafe situations, but do not to take advantage of the information you gain.

A background check is one of the best ways to find out whether a person or business is reliable. Be smart and save your money while conducting research by using the free information at your disposal. However, if you find yourself running checks frequently, it may be worth paying for a subscription service rather than spending the labor doing it yourself.
